Abstract

Background: The activities of Leucine zipper tumor suppressor 2 (Lzts2) in vertebrate embryogenesis remain unclear.

Results: Lzts2 regulates gastrula C&E movements, dorsoventral patterning, and midline convergence and specification of organ precursors in zebrafish.

Conclusion: Lzts2 functions through interaction with and the export of nuclear β-catenins.

Significance: This work has uncovered the developmental roles of Lzts2 and regulatory mechanisms in zebrafish.
